I wanted to take the time out and say that circle c is an excellent place for any child to enjoy what it feels like to be a kid; from horseback riding to swimming, this has by far been one of the best choices we have made this summer. Ms.Genesis has been a great coach and is a tremendous asset to circle c; she made us feel comfortable, and our daughter comes home talking about how much she loves going to camp.

Great place, especially if your kids are into horses. They keep the kids really busy. I think they could do a better job at pest control (get the highest DEET bug spray possible for your little ones). My 5yr old did the summer vpk. The teacher was great & communication was on point. I think having some scheduled down time would have made it a bit more enjoyable for the vpk aged kids. My kid would fall asleep on the ride home & complain about going, but overall good experience.

Great place, loved going. But I will miss Mrs. Sally.

Circle C is awesome! We just started our little girl here - staff are amazing and friendly. Through Covid I was worried like every parent, we toured the school first and was Very please with their cleaning protocols and attention they have put in to keeping all the kiddos safe. The app is a plus, a lot of other day cares do not provide this. I can check in and pictures are updated along with nap time. Gives me piece of mind and keeps me so involved with what they do at school!Love it!!! Thank you Circle C Ranch.

This is an amazing school. When I was a kid it was B&R Ranch but about 40 years ago Sally Harris purchased it and transformed it into a paradise of learning and fun. The needs and wants of both parents and children are not only met they are absolutely exceeded with an amazing staff, great classrooms for learning and educational opportunities, horses to both learn from and have fun with and amazing playgrounds. To handle the virus they built outdoor classrooms so social distancing could be maintained. This is a very easy five stars compared to any other educational and/or day care facility in West Central Florida. It is easy to see why so many military families from Macdill are so happy to be so close to such an amazing place.

The ranch is lovely. Staff is generally kind. Apparently they had to get rid of all of the animals except the riding horses... no pony, pig, goat, chicken,... this was the primary reason we selected this location... its still a lovely place, Its just not what we were expecting. The summer program may be staffed by new people because none of the faculty that I have meet seem to be on the site. I wish there were cameras on site since parents are no longer allowed in the classroom.

I was a Junior counselor here at circle c it was amazing the horses are so beautiful And sweet. It is a amazing place here and hope everyone enjoys it.

Our kids love it here. Great teachers and plenty of time to explore outside, interact with animals, and learn through playing. Such a unique place and a truly special find.

This is an ideal place for kids to flourish - my seven year old daughter has attended for a few years, and has flourished as a result of the diversity of programming and wonderful kids and staff. During the school year, homework is a priority, yet she also plays hard with plenty of opportunity to develop social skills with her peers and, most importantly, use her imagination. Yes, we go through plenty of Shout! on the clothes at the end of the day, but it is well worth it as she is doing what kids should do (as opposed to watching TV, on the computer, video games ... she is playing outside, interacting with friends, and for heavens sake, riding horses, how awesome is that!).

My daughter goes to vpk there and loves it! They get to ride horses, have a bounce house every other Friday, a dance instructor comes a couple times a month and does dance. She has homework a couple times a week and fun family activities to complete. She brings home all her school work so I can see how she is doing. Id totally check them out its such a neat place in the city.

I love this place I have came here for camp and I am a jc I recommend that You come here for camp your children will love it and I hope to get one of there horses izzy🐴💞🌻

I have came here for summer camp and I am a jc and it is the best!!! beautiful horse amazing staff and amazing counselors ~eliana Santana

I could go on and on about this place. We sent our daughter for many years and once management changed things changed for us for the worst. I could tell you stories you wouldnt believe. Contact me directly and Ill tell you my experiences if you wish. There are so many fantastic childcare centers in South Tampa do your research. I will say Ms Daphne, Gladys, and Kelly are amazing teachers and my daughter still loves them and talks about them to this day. Unfortunately poorly managed.

Has been a great fit for our kid-she has been there for VPK, summer camp and KG aftercare.I usually have to drag her home as she loves being there. It has a natural relaxed environment, acres of oak shaded play areas, horses, ducks goats etc.She loves the freedom and the care by the staff.I have found the staff very responsive.I love their open air stage -Christmas programs under the stars and their outdoor graduation ceremony.

Amazing place for your kids! They will love the activities and animals!

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. I enrolled our son in this day school during the summer session. He came home with a large bite mark on his arm, which turned purple. No one at the school notified us that our son had been bit by another child. When I went to the school the following morning to inquire about what had happened, one of the administrators said they dont call parents when an incident like that happens unless they are specifically instructed to do so. When I asked whether the child had bitten other children in the past, she admitted that it has occurred several times in the past with other children. When I asked what the school was doing to prevent this child from biting other children, she said that the childs mother was taking steps to correct the childs behavior.Obviously when you have a special needs child, there are steps to take to insure he/she does not harm or injure other children. This school did nothing and continues to do nothing to protect other children from these types of incidents. They are understaffed for the amount of children in the program. This is not a public school. It is a private days school and not cheap.From one parent to another, dont send your child here. We felt our sons well being was jeopardized and he and other children were not cared for properly.

My daughter attended this school from the ones through VPK, and it was a great place for a kid to attend until that last year when they replaced the director. Three major issues arose:Payments: All of a sudden, there were problems with our balance. They continually showed that we owed hundreds of dollars for prior months. When probing which months, there was no way for them to tell us. I was literally handed 5 months of printouts of our payments and the tuition as proof. I had to manually re-enter these into Excel and balance their account for my child for them. In the end, we owed $25 for an annual supply fee that we missed in the 4th of those 5 months. All of the other discrepancies were a result of them either charging the incorrect rate (We had two children, which carries a 10% for the 2nd child and they didnt apply the discount), or neglecting to waive the charges for when my kids were on vacation (2 weeks allowed per calendar year). It took me a couple of hours to do their job for them. I NEVER had these problems in previous years.Summer Camp: In the previous 4 years my child was there, summer camp enrollment was a breeze. Kids who already attended got priority for enrollment. Without ANY notice, we had to pay a reservation fee in order to secure a spot for our kid. Things change and I honestly have no issue with that. However, there was zero communication until we show up for summer to find out she was never enrolled. By then, there was nowhere else to place our children.The parental nightmare/final straw: While in VPK, my daughter told us about an incident on the play ground/field where 2 boys were lifting up her skirt and trying to look at her privates. Theyre five and maybe just being curious kids and ultimately didnt cause any harm so I inform the director. She has the teacher be more on the lookout for this behavior, but it happens again. Now they tried to touch her privates, so things are escalating quickly. I speak to the director again and she says that these 2 boys are notoriously misbehaved and that were not the first parents to complain. She plans on completely separating them from my daughter and have them on a different playground completely so theres no chance of this happening again. I like this solution, so Im relieved. Well, what happened next shocked me.The director and a woman named Ruth (not sure her role) called a meeting in with me and wife to discuss the situation. During this time, Ruth questioned whats happening at home with our daughter. She shared that she was molested as a child and that usually these things originate from home. Yes, shes implying and continues to do so until its a flat out accusation that my daughter must be getting molested at home. Now my instinct here was to flip out. MY child is not the one whos attempting to touch other kids privates. MY child has never exhibited any behaviors to even remotely indicate any such trauma. Shes clearly projecting her own childhood issues onto my daughter and refusing to acknowledge that my child is the victim here. Keep in mind that she has a legal obligation to report any suspicions to the county and I know this in the moment.This is my nightmare. Child Services interviewing my child and, what, asking my child if anyone at home ever touches her? My kid says yes because of bath time and all of a sudden my life falls apart? This is whats going through my head and it paralyzes me. I stay calm and simply reply that theres no way this is happening at home and do my best to get through that conversation. We immediately pulled both our children out of this school.In a way, it made me just as upset that she didnt report the issue to the county. She sat there and accused us of having some family member molesting our daughter and didnt report it? I cant tell which is worse, her falsely accusing us or failing to due her duty to report her suspicions.Its really sad because the teachers there are phenomenal. My daughter still remembers and loves those teachers and I wish them well.

Great staff great school...My daughter has been coming here for about a yr and loves it..

I love every thing about it like the hores, the pool, the silly songs, but most of all the friend u can meet

I want to go again
